Battered Amtrak Plans Return
Of Some Acela Trains to Service

As the peak business-travel season gets under way, Amtrak said it plans to have more than half of its Acela Express trains back in service on the Boston-New York-Washington Northeast Corridor.

The high-speed trains, popular with travelers, were sidelined last month when cracks were discovered in their locomotives. The consortium of manufacturers that built the trains, which includes Bombardier Inc., Montreal, and France's Alstom SA, has worked with Amtrak to find a solution.
